| Sport zones Polar sport zones provide an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow sport zones based training programs. Training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70%HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90%HRmax) and maximum (90-100%HRmax). |
RS800CX G5 GPS Sport zones X |
| Stride Sensor The average length of one step, that is, the distance between your right and left foot contacting the ground. Runners adjust stride length to gather speed: stride length increases as speed increases. Yet one of the most common mistakes novice runners make is over-striding. The most efficient stride length is the natural one – the one that feels most comfortable. |

RS800CX G5 GPS Time-distance intervals X |
| SPEED | |
| Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time. |
RS800CX G5 GPS Speed-Pace using G5 or OPTIONAL s3 X |
| SpeedPointer Tells you your speed within set speed limits. |
RS800CX G5 GPS SpeedPointer X |
| CADENCE | |
| Cadence - current, average, maxium Your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed. |
RS800CX G5 GPS Cadence using OPTIONAL s3 |
| DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS | |
| Distance based recovery measurement |
RS800CX G5 GPS Distance- recovery X |
| Distance – training, lap, trip and total Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset. |
RS800CX G5 GPS Distance using OPTIONAL s3 or G5 X |
| HEART RATE | |
| Heart rate – bpm / % / % HRR Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (% HRR), meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). |

| Average, minimum and maximum heart rate of training |
RS800CX G5 GPS Average, minimum, maximum HR |
| Average and maximum heart rate of each lap |
RS800CX G5 GPS Average, maximum HR per lap |
| HRmax (age-based) The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training as intensity zones can be defined using HRmax. Some Polar products define maximum heart rate during the Polar Fitness Test, see also HRmax (Polar Fitness Test -based). |
RS800CX G5 GPS Age based HR X |
| HRmax (Polar Fitness test-based) Some Polar products predict your HRmax simultaneously with the Polar Fitness Test. This predicted HRmax value is more accurate than the age-based formula (220 minus age). |

RS800CX G5 GPS HRmax user set X |
| TARGET / HEART ZONES |
|
| Automatic age-based target zone - bpm / % / % HRR To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer automatically determines your heart rate target zone limits according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR), meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). |
RS800CX G5 GPS Auto age based TZ |
| Graphical target zone indicator points out graphically on the display the zone you are in during a training session helping you to stay on the desired intensity zone. |
RS800CX G5 GPS Graphical TZ indicator X |
| OwnZone – personal heart rate zone Polar OwnZone determines your personal heart rate limits for a training session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state may vary, for instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not fully recovered from your latest training session, Polar can determine that information from your heart rate and guide you to your ideal training zone for that moment. |
RS800CX G5 GPS OwnZone |
| HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm. |
RS800CX G5 GPS HR based TZ with alarms |
| Manual target zone – bpm / % / % HRR This feature enables you to manually enter the target zone that is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%). |
RS800CX G5 GPS Manual TZ |
| Speed-based target zones with visual and audible alarm You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm. |

| CALORIES | |
| OwnCal – calorie expenditure with altitude adjustment Polar OwnCal calculates the number of calories burned during training. This feature allows you to track the calories burned during one training session and cumulative calories burned during several training sessions. The effect of the ambient air pressure is taken into account in the calorie expenditure calculations: in moderate and high altitude there is less oxygen in the air so you can do less work and expend fewer calories at the same heart rate. |
